April 03, 2007

Todd Zens has been named director of design and construction for Primrose Retirement Communities. Zens, 43, has 18 years' experience in the design, building and construction industry. Born and raised in Aberdeen, he graduated from Roncalli High School in 1981. He graduated in 1987 from North Dakota State University in Fargo, where he had a double major in architecture and art and a minor in interior design. "I came to work for Primrose because of the challenge of working for a young and aggressive family owned company and to be a part of an industry that is on the verge of a great growth," Zens said. "Primrose has also given me the opportunity to expand my talents by working with a great group of people who all have one goal in mind - to design, build, own, and manage the premier senior living communities in the county known as Primrose." Zens and his wife Amy have five children: Ian, 19; Matthew, 17; Trevor, 13; Gregory, 10, and Sarah, 6.
